Silly DLR Question
Are there direct DLR services from Stratford to Lewisham, or will I need
to change? Sorry if this is a silly question, but I can't find a definitive answer anywhere. (Also can anyone advise how long that trip would be likely to take?) Thanks. |

For most of the day there are probably through trains, but when there aren't, there is always an easy, same or cross-platform change if it terminates at Canary Wharf or Crossharbour. I think it takes about 35 minutes. |

Looks like I might be better off getting the Jubilee Line down to Canary Wharf and DLR to Lewisham from there. |

No, just get the DLR and change at Canary Wharf. -- We are the Strasbourg. Referendum is futile. |

Why do a huge change with a long walk to a separate station when you can do it cross-platform or same-platform? |

Because I thought there were no DLR trains during the day from Stratford to Canary Wharf, due to misreading the temporary timetable. What a terribly ambiguous document. I'm still not certain I understand it. |

I'm still not certain I understand it. Yes, it seems to show frequencies of a particular journey being done, as opposed to the total frequency between two points. You have to add them up. I think it's consistent in doing it that way, and in some ways it's a Good Thing in that it describes how the service works, but probably not what one is used to. |

I'm still not certain I understand it. You're right about the document being terrible. If you look at the four Stratford rows together, you see that from 6:30 to 19:30 there is always a 5 minute service from Stratford to Canary or further. -- We are the Strasbourg.
